A Clever Young Journalist.

Miss Jeanette Glider is woman who
has made for herself very enviable
place i'll journalism, SAYS the New York
World. She founded and has carried
to definite success a weekly journal,
The Critic, which was an experiment
and something quite new in its aim and
scope OF her career and her experiences
in the various departments of news
paper work she writes in pleasant,
frank, manly fashion. Personally
Miss Glider is a curious combination of
feminine and masculine traits. She is
passionately fond of children and is de-
voted to the pretty infants of her
brother, the poet; in social life she is
entirely feminine. and is quite what any
other clever. sweet-tempered woman
would be. But in her office she is utter
ly changed. A woman who had occa-
sion to meet her there once gave rather
an amusing decription of her own emo
tions on the occasion.
Il went into the fresh, bright, sunny
little office" she said, possessed by a
good deal of curiosity to see this clever
woman of business. She was sitting at
her desk looking over letters and rose
courteously at once. She is quite tall
and rather slim, with large, strong,
pale, and not unhandsome face. and

Watson Glider, of the Century. scarce

people meeting her on the street would
scarcely notice IT. She wears it during
her business because she really works
